Summer is the season for dazzling displays of fireworks, and the Fourth
of July tends to be the pinnacle. If you want to be safe and keep your
eye doctor in Chicago happy while you enjoy the view, be sure to practice proper
eye care. Look at this video clip for tips on keeping your eyes safe around fireworks.

There’s a lot to love about the summertime, from days at the beach
to ice cream cones in the backyard. For many families, it’s tradition
to go out and see a fireworks show on the Fourth of July. Fireworks can
be beautiful, but they’re equally bright. If the light gets to be
too much, consider putting on a pair of sunglasses. You can also try to
distance yourself from the spectacle to avoid such intense exposure. Whether
you prefer sparklers, bottle rockets, or firecrackers, practice proper eye care.
